George J. Gould House, Beaux-Arts mansion on Fifth Avenue in Upper East Side, Manhattan, US.
The limestone residence at 857 Fifth Avenue featured a grand bronze entrance door leading to a 35-foot high marble stair hall.
Architect Horace Trumbauer completed this mansion in 1906 for George Jay Gould, the eldest son of railroad magnate Jay Gould.
The second floor contained reception rooms including a Louis XVI Salon with aged European walnut panels and a Rococo ballroom with Tiepolo paintings.
The five-story structure included modern features for its time, such as electric appliances, a central vacuum system, and a secure vault.
The mansion replaced an earlier Neo-Gothic style Jay Gould House, with not a single brick from the previous structure used in the new construction.
